The leaves have a stronger flavor than the bulb, which is sweeter than a typical onion. That means they are perfect as a seasonal side dish when grilled or roasted whole. Use the bulbs and tops separately to get two uses out of them. The bulbs don’t need to be peeled and can be used in any recipe that calls for ordinary onions. They are especially good in braises, frittatas and soups when cooked with other vegetables. The tops can be sliced and used raw to salads, sautéed and mixed with spaghetti, or sprinkled over pizza and pasta. They are a key ingredient in Indo Chinese dishes and in fish preparations.Cultivation highlightsThis crop requires soil with good drainage to avoid any fungal diseases/rots.
